31 Haunted Hotspots and Urban Legends for the Brave Traveler
2. Château de Brissac – France
This towering castle in France’s Loire Valley is not only breathtakingly beautiful but also home to one of Europe’s most terrifying specters—La Dame Verte, or the Green Lady. Once a noblewoman, she was brutally murdered by her husband in a fit of rage after he discovered her affair. Ever since, her wailing screams echo through the halls at night. Visitors who have braved a night in the castle report encountering her horrific apparition, a woman with rotting flesh, hollow eye sockets, and a permanent silent scream frozen on her face. Even the bravest ghost hunters often flee the castle before sunrise.
